The White Rim Trail in a Day - Epic Gravel Bike Adventure (98.6 MILES!)

“A man on a bicycle will see more, feel more, enjoy more in one mile… than the motorized tourist can in a hundred.” - Edward Abbey

Out here in the heart of Utah’s red rock wilderness, that couldn’t be more true.

Join me as I ride the full White Rim Trail in a single day—98.6 miles of jaw-dropping landscapes, grueling climbs, sandy descents, and unforgettable moments in Canyonlands National Park near Moab, Utah. This isn’t just a ride—it’s a full-body, full-spirit journey on one of the most iconic backcountry loops in the U.S.

Whether you're a gravel grinder, bikepacker, MTB rider, or simply dream of riding through Utah’s red rock country—this is the ride that defines adventure.

🎥 Filmed entirely on-location in Canyonlands National Park, this video captures the essence of what it means to go deep—not just far.
